Cubs Celebrate Tiki Night with 4–2 Win Over Captains

The South Bend Cubs brought the island vibes to Four Winds Field on Tiki Night and delivered a 4–2 victory over the Lake County Captains. First pitch was delayed slightly due to a brief rain shower, with the game getting underway around 7:30 p.m.

Lake County struck first with two runs in the top of the third inning off Cubs starter Tyler Schlaffer, but South Bend quickly answered in the bottom half. Cameron Sisneros doubled sharply to right, scoring Jefferson Rojas to cut the deficit to 2–1.

The Cubs erupted for three runs in the fifth. Rojas delivered again, roping an RBI double to left field to score Carter Trice and James Triantos, then advanced to third. Sisneros followed with an RBI single to right, bringing Rojas home and giving the Cubs a 4–2 lead.

Despite some shaky defense—South Bend committed three errors, including two by Sisneros at first base—Schlaffer turned in a gem. The right-hander pitched seven strong innings, allowing just two hits and one earned run, while striking out five and walking three.

Chase Watkins tossed a clean eighth to earn a hold, and Grayson Moore locked down his second save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning.

Sisneros made up for his defensive miscues at the plate, going 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs, including a clutch two-out knock in the third.

With the series squared at one, the Cubs and Captains will wrap up the first half at 7:05 PM on Thursday. Left-hander Evan Aschenbeck will get the ball for South Bend against Lake County southpaw Josh Hartle.
